Bastards.

Nuketown 2025 has been pulled and now only available for 'special events'.

I'm sorry but what a absolute load of $#@!.

As well as myself, I feel for people who enjoyed this map and got sold a absolute LIE about the nuketown 24/7 crap as well as people who may have pre ordered it for relatives at xmas etc knowing the recipient would want the Nuketown map yet now have to wait for whenever Treyarch decide its time for a 'special event'.

Map will be back for 'special events' or via Custom Games.

Treyarch has pulled Nuketown 2025, the map available as a pre-order bonus for Black Ops 2, as a Playlist option.

It will now 'be back for special events', according to game design director David Vonderhaar. It is also available through Custom Games.

This move from Treyarch means that the Black Ops 2 pre-order bonus was live for just under a week. It also makes a mockery of the in-game description for the map: "24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, we never close."

Though "After 6 days we do close but we'll be back for special events!" isn't quite as catchy.

Treyarch is getting some heat from Black Ops 2 fans who pre-ordered the game, who at the very least want to see the map moved to regular rotation, so we'll see how Treyarch responds.

Honestly? While I'm not a die-hard fan of Nuketown 2025, it's ridiculous for them to make something available and then to take it away. I would love to hear their reasoning behind this decision, as I don't think any developer would make a decision like this without careful consideration. Yes, they're in for the money, so they must know that a decision like this will potentially make them lose money. F34R's post a perfect example of this:

My opinion on Treyarch is fluctuating every day, it seems. Overall, I'm still giving Treyarch props for handling the primary issues the game was facing in such a timely manner. Considering the Bethesda fiasco, it's quite refreshing for developers to actually act quickly on something, rather than running around and making a fool out of themselves. Nevertheless, there is no justification for taking away something that was openly flaunted about as being always available.

I didn't even pre order my edition of boII came with it in the box and its just a normal retail version. I just checked and yeah it's gone this is dumb. They will get so much backlash that it has to come back

I would like to revise my previous statement concerning Treyarch's beautiful handling of the glitches plaguing PS3 users... It seems that after the patch, many players are still experiencing the same issues they were previously. Including me! The game just froze... Again.
